Why group work?
Engaging in group work has multiple benefits for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence, including increasing self-esteem, reducing feelings of social isolation and self-stigmatisation. Group work can also be a more accessible and cost-effective option when compared to traditional one-on-one therapy.
At Carrie’s Place, we are committed to supporting our community through a range of programs and groups. These programs and groups aim to:
- Educate participants about the various forms and impacts of domestic and family violence,
- Equip parents with the skills to understand and respond to their children’s emotional needs and behaviours,
- Foster emotional wellbeing through mindfulness activities,
- Provide guidance on tenants' rights and responsibilities,
- Emphasise the importance of self-care and personal wellbeing
Our goal is to empower participants with the knowledge and tools they need to build safer, healthier lives.
Group programs are delivered across multiple locations throughout the Hunter Valley. For more information about each program, please refer to the individual group flyers below.
